Ummmm...except that (perhaps!!!) most of them aren't about to die of thirst in the desert, but are being told they most surely will, and so must all (man, woman and child) drink the 'magic elixir' concocted in the dark depths of the souk by the Khalifa. An elixir which may, or may not, have passed through LLani's fire extinguishing process. Oh, and the Khalifa is demanding that everyone (tax-payers) cough up billions of $ in gold for the pleasure of his nearly mandated services.
